If you want to see the end of the sort of irresponsible and distorted reporting coming from Wisconsin by Fox 'News' as of late, simply pass a law making it illegal for a news organization to lie or deliberately distort their reporting. In their zeal to union bash Fox News reporters are vilifying third grade teachers while strongly supporting the idea that government should be able to prevent United States citizens from assembling and organizing so as to better bargain. Apparently not satisfied with what is actually happening in Wisconsin they are lying and deliberately falsifying their reporting to 'prove' their points. This is not a freedom of speech issue. Canada and most of Europe already have laws ensuring that news organizations be held to a reasonable expectation of truthfulness and responsibility. Time to do the same here at home.
